Talk:Roselia (band)

Changed primary genre from gothic rock to alternative rock
Just here to note that I changed the band's primary listed genre from Gothic Rock to Alternative Rock, as the band does not have any Gothic Rock influence or sound in their music. The band varies a bit in regards to musical content, but generally consist of Alternative Rock, J-Rock, J-Pop, and Symphonic Metal. As an explanation to any sources that quote them as Gothic Rock (Though, I could only find one in the citations), the band are part of the Visual Kei movement, and their specific aesthetic is much more gothic in nature. That being said, aesthetic doesn't have any bearing on musical genre, and there was no mention of the band's gothic aesthetics on the page itself. I presume any western publications on the band that cite them as Gothic Rock are slightly misinterpreting the emphasis the band has on gothic aesthetics and conflating that with the genre of Gothic Rock, despite the band having no connection to said genre (Which is an understandable subject of confusion). I would also potentially encourage more of a direct reference to their aesthetics being primarily gothic inspired in the article somewhere, I'm simply very new to the website and as such don't want to make any major structural changes or larger additions to articles quite yet. Hopefully this is helpful! Draerkaz (talk) 17:02, 30 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I initially reverted before noticing you explained your case here, but you're good, don't worry. They're definitely gothic visually than musically, and the source you are likely referring to (HIDIVE) only refers to their aesthetic as gothic ("Their aesthetic style leans heavily on Japanese Visual Kei [...]. The members of Roselia wear matching gothic dresses while performing their musical numbers"); I think I misinterpreted it when writing this article and lumped their music in too.
